Happy Friday! Another rStheCon is in the books and I can’t wait to share more details about our 5-day trip to Dallas! I look forward to this trip every year – I love seeing my friends I talk to via text nearly daily in person and all of the events are so fun and a great way to network with other women who are content creators. For those of you ...

Kids & Screen Time: Our Approach
I’ve seen so many of my fellow bloggers address kids and screen time lately and I’ve been asked about it a lot in my Instagram DMs. So, I thought it would be a good time to share my thoughts on the topic! As a preface to this post, I think all families can and should do what works for their children and family life, and this is just our ...
A Day In My Life As a Working Mom
“A day in the life” is one of my most requested posts! I get it - I’ve seen other bloggers do these posts and I’m always so intrigued by how people schedule their days, whether they work from home, in an office or stay at home. It’s always interesting to get a peek into other people’s lives, routines and schedules. My workday is different every ...
Books I’m Listening To
I’ve been using Audible since signing up for their Black Friday deal and it has brought so much joy to my life! I don’t have a lot of extra time to read, but I can listen while I commute – so it was the perfect solution for me! The way Audible works is that you get one credit per month for the $14.95 fee and then you can buy extra credits every ...
2019
A New Year offers us the opportunity to reflect on what we want to accomplish or improve about ourselves and our lives. It can feel all-consuming to think about our goals – there is so much I want to do – but as a working mom of two, there is only so much I can do, and realizing this has been liberating. Something that I’ve come to learn about ...
Life Lately + Q & A
I got a little sad when starting to draft today's post. I used to share all of our weekend adventures and write monthly updates when Harper was a baby and I miss documenting those things sometimes. Instagram stories allow me to share our day-to-day lives and moments, so it feels repetitive to share it here on the blog. However, I thought I'd ...
Friday Q & A
How has your experience been purchasing furniture online? This is SUCH a good question! As long as the return policy is reasonable, I’ve had mostly positive experiences. For example, we ordered a couch from Pottery Barn that wasn’t made correctly and they took it back for a full refund, no questions asked – they were completely loyal to their ...
Overcoming Challenges As a Working Mom
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. I'm proud to partner with Olay on this content. All thoughts and opinions are my own. One of the questions I'm asked most is how I find "balance" as a working mom of two. As you know, I work both outside of the home full-time and run ...
Q & A
I asked you all to send me your questions last week for a Q & A I wold publish on my blog and these were your questions! Thank you to all who submitted one and happy Tuesday. Where is your gold Harper/Lincoln necklace from? It’s from Lola James Jewelry and it’s the “mini squad goals” necklace. How do you keep your house so clean on top of ...
What I’ve Learned About Facing Adversity in Blogging & How It Taught Me An Important Parenting Lesson
This post is written in partnership with Olay. I’m so grateful for brands like Olay that help support me in creating this content. "Wait...so you take pictures of your outfits in the mirror and then post them the Internet?" That was not an uncommon question in the early days of blogging. Well, that’s how it all began. Nearly ten years ago, I ...
